  1. Im sure if you are good enough, you'll get sponsorships .
    Black atheletes do very well.
    This Race agenda is a bit artificial.
    Mountains are for all if you want to do.

  2. Trust me, being black and on the slopes can be a very lonely experience. Glad to see more black people taking up winter sports.

  3. Salute from NJ🔥🔥🔥

  4. Diversity has ruined western societies. Never in history has there been more crime and theft.

  5. remember guys theres NINJAS in every race not just black!

  6. Uh oh, there will be lost guns in the snow now

  7. YALL KNOW YOU HEADING TO X GAMES!!!

  8. I can only imagine how many young black men and women that have always wanted to ski ⛷ and snowboard but never felt comfortable with all the stares and I’m glad you guys are empowering them and giving them support…that’s awesome thank you guys ❤

  9. You go guys!! Proud of you all.

  10. God forbid a hispanic athlete can ever break a barrier.

  11. Well, the mountain wont be quiet and peaceful anymore 😂

  12. STOP MAKING EVERYTHING ABOUT RACE

  13. Love this stuff.
    I am a snowboarder, love it.
    Awesome stuff

  14. As an older black guy that's never hit the slopes but wants to, you guys have my full support. Go rip it up!

  15. Well you young guys do something I could never master. I once put one foot on a skateboard, then went to put the other foot on, well one foot ended up really high in the air and I hit the concrete with my back and head, no helmet. Never tried that again, doesn’t look like snow is any different.
    I hope you enjoy the cold weather, I also prefer warmer weather.

  16. There ya go , Great Idea . Have good clean fun 😁.

  17. What barriers?? 😂You people are crazy!! Always trying to make out like your having to fight “the man” to do anything 😂😂😂 Nobody is trying to keep you from doing anything,the only barrier is yourself, just do the damn thing and stop trying to make it about race😢

  18. Of course the news tryna look good cause they had nothing else lol

  19. Dammit! They found out about snowboarding.

  20. Cultural appropriation

  21. Yes black athletes lol because there very rare and never paid 😂😂😂😂😂

  24. ❤ This is absolutely beautiful. How do I sign my son up? I love everything about this

  25. Diversity is our strength!!!🎉

  26. 'Breaking barriers for black athletes'… 😂😂😂
